Commissioners are suing two companies and two former Coliseum managers. The Los Angeles Times (

) says the suit will be amended Tuesday to include new allegations that cash given to a union representative to pay stagehands was improperly handled.

A commission statement says the agency will try to determine how much was paid and whether taxes and pension money were withheld as required.

The Times says advances ranging from about $24,000 to $82,000 were given to the union in recent years for raves and concerts.

Union business agent Mark Madrigal says he only started the job this week and has no information about the payments.
